Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting

Chapter 42: Escape from the Troubled Times 40

The county government is tight outside but loose inside. At present, the number of people under the wise king is indeed small, and the extra people have been sent out to hold the fort.

The two searched around and found the yard with the largest number of guards. Not surprisingly, that was where Zhou Hean was imprisoned.

Now both of them are bald.

This yard is really airtight, with no gaps to enter. Lin Xia is observing here, while Wu Geli goes to check around.

"Did you find anything?" Lin Xia asked silently.

Wu Geli pointed to the location of the cells in the backyard and whispered, "The Royal Guards, Zhang Yue and Qi Xiuer."

Lin Xia frowned.

Why is Qi Xiuer here! Hasn't she only been training for three years?

Lin Xia asked Wu Geli to keep an eye on it while she ran outside the cell to check. She could indeed hear screams from inside. It was really Qi Xiuer and the little genius Zhang Yue.

She could ignore other people, but she couldn't ignore her younger sister who had grown up under her care.

Lin Xia calmed down and carefully observed the layout of the scene. She found that this county government office was too small, the cells were poorly built, and there were only two people guarding the door. As long as she could get rid of the gatekeepers, she would be sure to rescue them.

But we can't alert the enemy!

Lin Xia returned to her original place in a depressed mood. Wu Geli wondered, did something important happen?

"What's wrong?" Wu Geli mouthed.

Lin Xia shook her head, indicating that it was okay, and continued to stare at the yard. Wu Geli was confused, but he still focused his attention on what was in front of him.

Suddenly, a group of people came and they watched Zhou Hean being taken away.

The two thought for a moment and followed.

Zhou Hean was surrounded by people, and it seemed that he had been given a muscle softening drug, which made the rescue more difficult. There was no chance at all along the way, so they returned to the gate of the yard.

The yard was now quiet. Lin Xia took advantage of the fact that there were few people around and quietly jumped onto the wall and lay in a corner. She saw an old lady sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that there was someone else in the yard.

On second thought, good opportunity.

He quietly walked around behind the youngest and slashed him with a knife. The youngest completely collapsed. Lin Xia took out some sleeping pills from the space and fed him some more to ensure that he would not wake up.

Then she changed clothes and put on makeup. Lin Xia's makeup skills were really good. It should be said that she had super good hands-on ability. She mastered this skill very quickly, and finally she looked 80% similar to the old lady.

Just as she stuffed the old lady under the bed, she heard a noise outside. Lin Xia returned to the yard and sat down. A moment later, Zhou Hean appeared with a blood mark on his neck.

Zhou Hean entered the room weakly, and then four guards nodded friendly to Lin Xia and stood in front of the door.

It seems that this old lady has a high status. Judging from her age and clothing, she is very likely a close confidant of the wise king.

Lin Xia stood up, ignored the guards, and walked into the room with court etiquette.

She had seen the old lady enjoying the cool breeze and drinking tea, which was standard royal etiquette, and she had also checked the old lady's health. She was in good shape and was usually an elegant lady.

Seeing Lin Xia enter the house, the guard did not stop her.

Zhou Hean looked at the visitor coldly and found that the visitor was unreasonably silent. Lin Xia made a personal guard gesture. Zhou Hean was surprised for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he cursed loudly.

"How dare you, a lowly slave, look at me like that? Are you here to see if I'm dead? It's a pity your master doesn't dare to kill me, you useless dog."

Then she cursed in another old voice: "Bah, bitch! No matter how arrogant you are, you will still be caught. I want to laugh when I see you in such a miserable state."

Lin Xia knew that Zhou Hean was a ventriloquist, and since she saw it was useful, she also learned it.

She handed over a packet of medicine and mouthed, "Antidotes for Softening Muscle Powder."

Zhou Hean was so surprised that he took it and smelled it. It was indeed the familiar medicinal smell. He put it away and didn't eat it for the time being.

She immediately said, "Get out of here, you lowly slave! Go get some food! If I starve to death, that old thing will die too."

"Okay, you still want to eat, right? I'll call you over later and see if you want to eat." Zhou Hean played the role of an old nanny diligently, speaking in a grim tone and laughing sinisterly.

At the same time, Zhou Hean gestured to Lin Xia to go out and find the guard at the compound to deliver food.

Lin Xia understood, she already knew the old lady's voice, and walked out without fear.

Zhou Hean behind him swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

Lin Xia walked to the gate of the courtyard, knocked on the door, and deliberately said to the outsider: "Ask someone to send food over, it's rotten."

The guard understood, walked away, and soon came back to continue his guard.

Seeing that Lin Xia no longer entered the house, the guard at the gate of the courtyard locked the door.

Lin Xia was still enjoying the cool air in the yard, with a faint, sinister smile on her face.

After waiting for a long time, the sound of the door opening was heard outside. A maid walked in silently with a food box, lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone.

The maid stood aside waiting for Lin Xia's instructions. Lin Xia pointed directly into the house and said, "Send it in."

The guard with the key tactfully opened the door, and the maid obediently led her into the house. Lin Xia followed behind as if she wanted to watch the show.

As soon as he entered the room and turned the door, he knocked the maid unconscious and gently held up the food box and the maid's body.

Zhou Hean silently picked up the food box and started to make the sound of arranging the dishes. At the same time, Lin Xia had already deftly stripped off the maid's clothes.

She gestured to Zhou Hean, indicating that she would play the role of the old lady.

"Hey, General Xiao Zhou, come eat quickly, aren't you hungry?"

While talking, she took out cosmetics and put on makeup for Zhou Hean.

"Hmph, you dare to throw such dirty and smelly things in front of me, you are really going too far!" Then there was a sound of breaking dishes.

Lin Xia quickly put makeup on Zhou Hean. It didn't require any carefulness and no one would notice it unless they looked up.

"You deserve nothing more than to eat this filthy food."

"You old fellow, go get me some food yourself. If you don't have any, you'll see if you'll be punished by the wise king."

"You..." As if furious, she walked out of the room with her maid, slammed the door shut, pointed at the guard holding the lock, and said angrily, "Lock it!"

No one suspected anything, so Lin Xia casually took Zhou He'an into the blind corner of the yard, looked at where Wu Geli was hiding and made a gesture.

Wu Geli didn't expect it to be Lin Xia. He took a closer look and saw that the other one was his wife.

I can't hide the smile on my face. Lin Xia is really amazing!

Zhou Hean was successfully sent out along the same route they came from. Lin Xia left a message saying "I'm going to the cell" and turned around and disappeared.

She walked around the cell with ease, used a stone to attract a person to come forward to check, covered his mouth from behind and slashed him with a knife, and put the person into the space. After several years of practice, her space was exactly one cubic size. This time, half of the space was left empty. As long as she folded the person, there was more than enough space for him.

Seeing that the man was motionless, the other guard shouted the man's name and came forward, but was also killed by Lin Xia, leaving behind two stripped bodies.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the mansion. It turned out that a guard in the courtyard heard no movement in the room and became suspicious. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. When he opened the door, he saw only the maid lying on the ground.

Zhou He'an is gone.

The courtyard was bustling with activity as people were being searched everywhere. Lin Xia was just trying to hide the two dead bodies more secretly when she suddenly saw the guards from the mansion running outside. She thought it was Wu Geli helping her to attract attention.
